Worst comments from non MSers?

MSers and our partners

Recently I’ve seen a fair amount of posts on the forum here talking about relationships. Some from partners of MSers wondering how best to lend support and some from MSers wondering how best to communicate their needs. Would love to start the conversation here from both sides. MSers, how do you b...
